"A wet and windy May fills the fields with corn and hay."
"The more the rain the more the rest
too much fine weather is not the best."
"All to one side like the handle of a can."
"The oak before the ash t'is bound for a dash (fine weather)
and the ash before the oak t'is bound for a soak."
"Tidy Amy burns the candle looking for the rush."
"There is nothing to beat the art of man said Peg Scanlan when she stuck the candle to the wall."
"Always taking from the meal pot and never adding to it, you soon come to the bottom."Nellie Butler Bansha Co. Tipperary
